    For sale: LPD's Polyurethane LCA bushings

    Likely going to put these up for sale. They are poly LCA bushings that are sold by LPD Auto Parts. They are currently listed at $100 for a pair. I am selling mine for $80 shipped to the lower 48 USA.

    Lower Control Arms. The stock bushing is a metal sleeve with a rubber bushing inside, but there are rubber connectors that are used to mount them to each other. A solid poly bushing will replace that OEM bushing and provide a better, more solid connection.

    I can post a pic of the OEM and Poly side by side tonight.

    Still have them. The set is left and right. The OEM consists of 3 bushings total per side, one larger bushing, and a 2-piece. These polyurethane bushings replace only the large OEM bushing bc it fails often/prematurely due to its design. The 2-piece does not have to be replaced.

    I can send you another picture tonight describing what I wrote above.

    Is this for the rearmost bushing on the front LCA? Where the OEM one has the rubber "spokes"?

    What is the w208 one? Since they have a different front LCA design, which one do you use?

    Interesting. I have not heard of any complaint from anyone who has changed out the OEM bushing to a solid polyurethane one, regardless of brand.

    As for the question above, I am going with an adjustable bushing.

    Knowing this is almost a year old, but are they still for sale?
    I am located in Taiwan, not Thailand. Taiwan, the aircraft carrier shaped island beside China.
    Wonder how much can have them shipped if they are still for sale?

    Modding resource is rather limited here, especially for a model that's 15 years past since discontinued.
